Statistical methods and analyses in autoimmune diseases by Inshaw, J

“…</p> <p>Finally, I performed an ImmunoChip-wide meta-analysis of 59, 974 individuals, approxi- mately twice the sample size of the previous largest T1D genetic analysis, and identified 74 chromosome regions associated with T1D, including 22 novel regions. I fine mapped each region and confirmed that prioritised variants were enriched in open chromatin re- gions in lymphoid cells. …”

Global availability of medications and health technologies for kidney care: A multinational study from the ISN-GKHA by Kelly, DM, Jones, ESW, Barday, Z, Arruebo, S, Caskey, FJ, Damster, S, Donner, J, Jha, V, Levin, A, Nangaku, M, Saad, S, Tonelli, M, Ye, F, Okpechi, IG, Bello, AK, Johnson, DW

“…Public funding (and free at point of delivery) for medications for dialysis and kidney transplantation was available in only 24% (n = 39) and 30% (n = 50) of countries worldwide, with the proportion increasing in line with country income levels. There was reduced capacity for the management of CKD mineral bone disease in low-income countries (LICs) - serum parathyroid hormone was available in only 26% (n = 5) of LICs and the ability to administer non-calcium-based phosphate binders and cinacalcet was also very limited in LICs [16% (n = 3) and 5% (n = 1), respectively]. …”

Automatic miscalibration detection and correction of LiDAR and camera using motion cues by Peng, Pai, Pi, Dawei, Yin, Guodong, Wang, Yan, Xu, Liwei, Feng, Jiwei

“…Then, as sensor drift occurs, the projection constraints between visual feature points and LiDAR 3-D points are used to compute the scaled camera motion, which is further utilized to align the drifted LiDAR scan with the camera image. Finally, the proposed method is sufficiently compared with two representative approaches in the online experiments with varying levels of random drift, then the method is further extended to the offline calibration experiment and is demonstrated by a comparison with two existing benchmark methods.…”

Additive quantization for truly tiny compressed diffusion models by Hasan, Adil

“…We are rewarded with state-of-the-art results on the important class-conditional benchmark of LDM-4 on ImageNet at 20 inference time steps, in- cluding sFID as much as 1.93 points lower than the full-precision model at W4A8, the best-reported results for FID, sFID and ISC at W2A8, and the first-ever successful quantization to W1.5A8 (less than 1.5 bits stored per weight). Furthermore, our pro- posed method allows for a dynamic trade-off between quantization-time GPU hours and inference-time savings, in line with the recent trend of approaches blending the best as- pects of post-training quantization (PTQ) and quantization-aware training (QAT), and demonstrates FLOPs savings on arbitrary hardware via an efficient inference kernel.…”
